About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with mountain views in Guaro, Costa del Sol. Traditional double doors open directly into a dining room that connects to the kitchen, creating a sociable layout where original character features remain intact throughout the 103 square metres of living space.
The ground floor holds the dining room, kitchen and a bathroom, while the upper level contains three bedrooms and a second bathroom. A separate studio apartment with independent access sits within the property, offering flexible use as guest accommodation or rental income potential. The 15-square-metre terrace captures mountain and village views across the surrounding Serranía de las Nieves. Natural light fills each room through multiple windows positioned along the façade. The property is sold unfurnished, allowing incoming owners to configure the space according to their requirements.
Guaro sits 18 kilometres inland from Marbella, where the pueblo's central streets retain their whitewashed Andalusian character. The townhouse stands on a quiet street within walking distance of Plaza de España, where local bars and the weekly market operate. Málaga Airport lies 55 kilometres east, accessible via the A-357 and AP-7 in approximately 50 minutes. The village maintains its working agricultural identity, with olive and almond groves extending across the hillsides beyond the final row of houses.

Buying this townhouse in Guaro
Can foreigners buy property in Guaro?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Guaro. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Guaro?
Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.
